Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - John 19:31-42

EXPLANATORY AND CRITICAL NOTESJohn 19:31. The Jews therefore, etc.… for great was that Sabbath day.—There was a twofold sanctity about the coming day, for it was not only the day at the beginning of which in the evening the passover lamb was eaten—it was at the same time the weekly Sabbath, and therefore a day of peculiar sanctity, a high day.

Sermon Bible Commentary - John 19:38-40

John 19:38-40 Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus at the Burial of Jesus I. Before the death of Jesus, the two rulers here named had been His secret disciples. They were no worse than multitudes are who pass as irreproachable. There may be, in the world of rank and fashion, many a man whom Christ has called to be a disciple, but who is ashamed of his order, and who is only a disciple secretly. Many a man who would be willing to ride after Christ to the sound of applause, or to speak for Christ... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - John 19:1-42

Chapter 19Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him ( John 19:1 ).The scourging was a whipping that was done to examine the prisoners. It was a third degree technique of the Roman Empire.

John 19:1 . Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged him, as stated in Matthew 27:26. In cases where this preseded crucifixion, Cicero has recited the form of the sentence from the Roman law. I, lictor, colliga manus, caput obnubito, arbori infelici suspendito. Go, lictor, tie his hands, cover his head, suspend him to the unhappy tree. Those punishments on persons apprehended for robberies and sedition, were usually inflicted with great severity. All this Isaiah had foreseen, when he... read more

The friends of Jesus, and his entombment, John 19:38-42. 38. After this Joseph of Arimathea The foes have gone into the background, and Jesus is now with his friends for evermore. No apostle appears present at the embalmment or entombment; but one whose name is hitherto unmentioned, and would be forever unmentioned, but for this act, steps forward. So for the just man Providence ever raises new friends. And so may the weakest faith grow strong and take its proper post at the required hour.... read more
